Has anyone heard from Grump in a while? It's been 2 weeks since he last posted a picture on here of this site.

I hear he's Grump"y" that nothing is going on there right now.

....see what I did there.

Well, all else fails, at least there's action on this thread, cause there's nothing going on at the site.

Got my hopes up a while back when I happened to be looking at the site and saw about 10 guys in safety gear gathered together for a meeting but then they walked off the site back to their vehicles, lost the safety gear, and drove away, never to be seen again.

So weird!

The site works are done. They are probably just waiting on the erectors schedule. It's a busy time of year.

First thing in the morning always works!

I was told screen installation should start late June and take a few weeks.

HSM is planning on putting some tables in the plaza and hoping if NHL returns to play games on the screen – it's assumed many games will be happening during the day, which is cool. They're not sure if it'll be licensed outside or not. After trying delivery the first couple weeks, whole market shut down 6 weeks ago. Tenants ONLY pay % of sales for the first 18 months, so they haven't had to worry about rent.

Food Hall set to re-open next Friday.

Sutton Place / Wawanesa:
Had a chat yesterday with someone who relayed a conversation they'd had with PCL. With the Sutton Place project stalled, there's a big concern with it's impact on the Wawanesa project. Until the Sutton project north crane goes away, you can't put a crane up for the Wawanesa tower.

buzzg · #11 Posted **Jun 4, 2020, 9:44 PM**

Is it just a stall due to COVID restrictions or like a legit "there's not money" stall that could be a cancellation? Thought Wawa wasn't supposed to start for at least another year anyway?

bomberjet · #12 Posted **Jun 4, 2020, 10:33 PM**

Wawa needs to dig a hole and do the foundation. So seem to be at least 2 years out from needing a crane. I would hope sutton is being completion by that time.

Well, how long until Gagliardi's hotels fill up again so he can pay for this project?

bomberjet · #14 Posted **Jun 5, 2020, 4:20 PM**

If that's what actually happening, he has no money and the project has stalled. Then we're screwed either way.

Luckily Winnipeg still has other projects to hang on to. I hope this delay (if any) will be gone soon

Winnipeg Grump · #16 Posted **Jun 8, 2020, 7:52 PM**

On a positive note, the hardware to hang the big display in the True North Square is going up right now.

Winnipeg Grump · #17 Posted **Jun 9, 2020, 6:43 PM**

Soooo, there's 4 or 5 workers on site today. They used the crane this morning to set up a couple of porta-pottys on the slab.

And had another chat where it was relayed that PCL had confirmed the financial reason for why it was shut down but that it was expected to be back up and running any time now.
Not sure if Northland had been self-funding this and then had to go get external funding or what happened.

buzzg · #18 Posted **Jun 9, 2020, 7:26 PM**

Good to hear

Winnipeg Grump · #19 Posted **Jun 10, 2020, 8:38 PM**

Taken this morning.
Just walked by and they have the first panel up.

esquire · #20 Posted **Jun 10, 2020, 9:54 PM**

^ Cool... makes me wonder if they'll ever put one up on Bell MTS Place where the brackets have been in place since the arena was built?
